What we test for and why.

Your genetic makeup and hormones play a key role in your hair loss and how your body responds to hair loss treatments. We analyze 20 genes that help us get a better understanding of your optimal treatment.

  • SULT1A1


    (Sulfotransferase 1A1): This gene helps predict how well your body activates minoxidil, a key ingredient for hair growth. Variants may indicate whether you need a higher dose or special additives like tretinoin for best results.

  • SRD5A1 & SRD5A2


    Steroid 5-Alpha-Reductase: These genes affect how much DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss) your body produces. High activity can increase hair loss risk, suggesting the use of DHT-blocking treatments and selecting between finasteride, dutasteride, or spironolactone, which works as an anti-androgen to block DHT.

  • MTHFR


    Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase: This gene influences your body’s folate levels, which are essential for healthy cell growth, including hair follicles. Variants may impact your need for folate supplements.

  • GPR44-1 & GPR44-2


    Prostaglandin D2 Receptor: These genes help us understand your sensitivity to prostaglandin D2, a compound that can cause hair loss. Cetirizine, a prostaglandin D2 inhibitor, may be effective for managing hair loss by blocking this pathway.

  • PTGFR-1, 2, 3


    Prostaglandin F Receptor: These genes impact how well your body responds to latanoprost, a treatment that promotes hair growth through prostaglandin pathways. Variants in these genes can indicate whether latanoprost will be effective for you.

  • ACE


    Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme: ACE affects blood flow. Variants here may determine how well circulation-boosting treatments, like minoxidil or caffeine, work to enhance hair growth.

  • PTGES2


    Prostaglandin E Synthase 2: This gene plays a role in producing prostaglandins that help hair growth. Variants can indicate how effective treatments like minoxidil might be for you.

  • COL1A1


    Collagen Type 1 Alpha 1: This gene affects collagen production, which supports hair structure. Variants can influence your hair’s strength and resilience, and whether collagen supplements may help.

  • SLC23A1


    Vitamin C Transporter: This gene controls how well your body absorbs vitamin C, which is essential for hair strength and health. Variants may suggest a need for supplementation.

  • NQO1


    NAD(P)H Quinone Dehydrogenase 1: This gene is related to your body’s antioxidant defenses. Low activity may mean oxidative stress is contributing to hair loss, suggesting antioxidant treatments.

  • CRABP2


    Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein 2: This gene is involved in how your body uses vitamin A, which supports a healthy scalp and hair. Variants may suggest vitamin A supplementation like Tretinoin.

  • BTD


    BTD (Biotinidase): This gene helps your body use biotin, an important vitamin for hair growth. Variants may reveal whether you need extra biotin to support healthy hair.

  • CYP19A1


    Aromatase: This gene controls how much testosterone is converted to estrogen. Low activity may lead to higher DHT levels, which could accelerate hair loss, guiding the use of anti-androgens like spironolactone, 17-α estradiol, or melatonin, which can help reduce DHT production and enhance hair growth effects.

  • SLC23A1


    Vitamin C Transporter: This gene controls how well your body absorbs vitamin C, which is essential for hair strength and health. Variants may suggest a need for supplementation.

  • ZPR1


    Zinc Finger Protein ZPR1: This gene is linked to zinc levels, and variants might suggest the need for zinc supplements, which are important for hair health.

  • MUC1


    Mucin 1: This gene is related to magnesium absorption. Variants could indicate if magnesium supplementation might benefit your hair health.

  • DMGDH


    Dimethylglycine Dehydrogenase: This gene affects your body’s selenium levels. Low selenium can impact hair health, so variants here might suggest the need for supplementation.

PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH AND CLINICALLY APPROVED

Ingredients for growth

Our custom treatments combine proven prescription hair loss treatments and other effective clinically validated ingredients to achieve the best results.

  • 
    Minoxidil

    Helps with hair loss by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp, which promotes hair growth. It is a vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels, improving blood circulation to the hair follicles.

  • Dutasteride

    Inhibits the production of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone that causes hair loss.

  • Latanoprost

    Has been found to help with hair loss by extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It is a prostaglandin analog that promotes hair growth by increasing the density, thickness, and pigmentation of hair follicles.

  • Finasteride

    Helps treat hair loss by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, finasteride slows hair loss, promotes hair regrowth, and helps maintain existing hair in individuals with male pattern baldness

  • Melatonin

    Studies suggest that melatonin may help reduce hair loss and promote regrowth by extending the hair growth phase, reducing oxidative stress, modulating immune responses, and improving scalp health.

  • Caffeine

    Caffeine can stimulate the scalp through blood flow, supporting hair follicle health — specifically, the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle.

  • Spironolactone

    Slows androgen production, decreasing testosterone. May act as combined or solo therapy for androgenic alopecia.

  • Tretinoin

    Promotes and regulates skin cell development. This creates a favorable environment for hair growth. Thought to work synergistically with minoxidil. May penetrate hair follicle better when in combination.

     

  • Vitamin D

    Vitamin D may support hair health by promoting hair follicle function, reducing inflammation, and regulating the immune system, which can help prevent hair loss and encourage regrowth.

  • Cetirizine

    Motivated by the success of hair growth in other prostaglandin pathway medications, researchers studied the use of topical cetirizine in patients with androgenic alopecia and found that it may increase hair density and hair diameter.

Your Questions, Answered

Why does a genetic test matter for hair loss?

A genetic test provides valuable insights into how your unique genetic makeup may influence hair loss and your response to different treatments. By analyzing over 20 specific genes and biomarkers related to hair health, we can understand underlying factors contributing to hair thinning or loss. This allows us to personalize your treatment with ingredients that are more likely to work effectively for you. With a tailored approach, you’re not only improving your chances of seeing results but also minimizing exposure to ingredients that may be less beneficial for your hair type and genetic profile.

What types of hair loss can be helped?

Roots by GA addresses a wide range of hair loss concerns, from early-stage thinning to more progressed balding, including male pattern baldness, androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, shedding, diffuse thinning, patchy hair loss, widening part, and general hair fall. Our customized topical solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs—whether you’re aiming to stop hair loss, encourage regrowth, or enhance hair density.

What ingredients are in Roots by GA's formulas, and how do they help with hair regrowt?h

Roots by GA uses a comprehensive range of FDA-approved topical ingredients, such as minoxidil, which can be prescribed in varying dosages tailored to your unique genetic variations and enzyme activity. Additionally, we incorporate FDA off-label medications like finasteride and its stronger form, dutasteride, to help reduce DHT, a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. DHT levels vary among individuals based on genetic factors, and addressing this can be critical in slowing or reversing hair loss.

For those less responsive to minoxidil, or for a more multitargeted approach, ingredients like latanoprost and cetirizine are available to support hair regrowth. Spironolactone, often recommended for women, helps reduce testosterone levels, which can also contribute to hair thinning. To further enhance treatment, circulation modulators like caffeine are used to promote blood flow, especially in cases where genetic markers suggest it could be beneficial. Other clinically validated ingredients include tretinoin to improve absorption, as well as vitamins and hormones like melatonin, which contribute to overall scalp and hair health.

 

  • Male, 42 yrs.

    I started noticing hair loss and was frustrated with trying different that took to long to see results. I felt confident with my custom treatment because I had the reassurance the topical was customize to my needs. It’s been 7 months and I’ve noticed fuller hair in my problem areas.

  • Male, 29 yrs.

    I have been struggling with early signs of  hair loss for years, I tried alot of natural products, and supplements but my hair continued to thin in the front.  After seeing a Roots ad, I decide it was time to try medications if I was going to get serious. So glad I did, it’s been just 4 months and already notice it working. Don’t wait like I did.

     

  • Male, 56 yrs.

    I tried a lot with little success and I thought at my age – maybe nothing would work.  The Roots Genetic Test was my last effort, and I’m so glad I tried.  The test provided some valuable insights. I’ve started regrowing hair on my crown, it’s making me very hopeful.
